This study quantitatively describes the severities of the environments that small hazardous-material containers can be expected to experience in transportation accidents. These descriptions, which constitute an important component of the risk analysis of hazardous-material shipments, are necessary in determining the adequacy of protection provided by the uniquely designed shipping containers. In Volume I, significant results of the study are summarized; in Volume II, physical parameters of aircraft accident environments are discussed; and, in Volumes III and IV, truck and train accidents are examined.
